The shadows of a great city

Founded Upon L. R. Shewell's Famous Play of the Same Name. A 1904 romance story features thisOne afternoon Nellie was sitting writing her daily letter to Tom. Her mind had left the sheet before her, and with her eyes fixed upon the ivy-covered church opposite she tried to weave a day dream which would bring her happiness. How many weary months had passed since her Tom had gone to prison, and each day her cousin became more insufferable and she hated him more and more. He had constantly persecuted her with his attentions.It would be well to cite a little episode which had happened only a few days before. Benson had gotten it into his mind that Biddy interfered with Nellie as far as he was concerned; that is, influenced her against him, so he determined to banish the woman from the house, and with this intention he set about finding a woman who would take Biddy's place.
